According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and

then slows down, eventually coming to a stop? It is always observed as contracting. It is always observed as the same length. It is observed as expanding and then contracting back to its original length. It is observed as contracting and then expanding back to its original length.

When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

when a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt, why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?
artcher [175]
I think the answer to your question is that:
There is chemical energy being produced (by the water) and that causes the base of iron to absorb the heat. Then when the heated base of the iron is placed onto the shirt, the heat flattens the wrinkles on it.

If you increase the force acting on an object, what will happen to the object's motion
Mama L [17]
Force is directly proportional to rate of change of velocity so it increasing, velocity (motion of the object) will also increase.

arlik [135]

Answer:

the height of the potential energy is 3,200 J

Explanation:

The computation of the kinetic energy is shown below:

Kinetic energy = 1 ÷ 2 × mass × velocity^2

= 1 ÷ 2 × 4 kg × 40 m/s^2

= 3,200 J

Hence the height of the potential energy is 3,200 J

Describe the main distinguishing features of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk of stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. These are surrounded by a much fainter halo of stars, many of which reside in globular clusters.

Elliptical galaxies have smooth, featureless light-profiles and range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flattened, and in size from hundreds of millions to over one trillion stars. In the outer regions, many stars are grouped into globular clusters. Most elliptical galaxies are composed of older, low-mass stars, with a sparse interstellar medium and minimal star formation activity They are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure. Collectively they are thought to make up about a quarter of all galaxies.

irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational action. they are shapeless.
